As someone who hasn't considered the ship of ichigo and byakuya in more than a "oh that'd be an interesting ship", getting to the whole fullbringer arc really made me interested.
Like Tsukishima is able to place himself in memories and shit, which he does with the important people Ichigo has in his life. And all these people, Ichigo's family, his close friends, and the girl who loves him, instantly turn on him when Ichigo attacks Tsukishima.
The people who care the most about Ichigo and trust him with their lives are unable to break out of the ability or even question it. Orihime and Chad do try and fight it near the end but even they don't manage it before being removed from the situation entirely.
Tsukishima does this too with Byakuya and yet, out of all Ichigo's friends and family, it's Byakuya who actually goes against the enemies ability and cuts him down because anyone who dares to hurt Ichigo, even if they're a friend, must be cut down. And he does this almost instantaneously, without mulling it over unlike Chad and Orihime who only started to question things later.
That's just. . . Very interesting that out of everyone, it was Byakuya who would do such a thing, especially since, up to this point, we've not seen a lot between him and Ichigo.
Anyway I can see why my friend was a bit obsessed with these two when she was reading the manga. I can certainly see the potential even more now than I did and I certainly did earlier.

im too sick to make this coherent but like. i feel like i only started caring about my gender identity after noticing that others care. i was content with being a tomboy or whatever and i was content never shaving because that stuff never crossed my mind.
others cared, though. others made comments about me developing puberty later than average. others made comments about my body hair and about the length of my hair.
and it's not like i didn't know about the concept of trans. i knew about transgender since 6th grade. and while it did make me realise that i have "a choice" in terms of gender, i never thought of myself as trans because, well, i'm not a boy! i was just gonna keep being a girl who didn't like girlie stuff.
i have been (and seen others be) ridiculed for the way i express myself. i learnt that others cared and that made me care. suddenly i realised i had to be a certain way that wasn't actually comfortable. i wanted to be a girl in my way dammit.
i've fucked around with femininity after high school. it felt good to reclaim it, in a way. i wore dresses and make-up and i enjoyed it because it finally wasn't an obligation. and a few years ago i decided to drop Cis altogether. it doesn't fit. and i was content being a feminine non-binary person.
somewhere after that i started developing gender dysphoria too. and honestly i'm unsure if it's caused by people forcing me to care about my expression, or if i was always going to feel this way at some point. nevertheless, i am definitely not grateful for how i was treated. how they made me doubt every step i took and every feeling i felt.
so whenever cis people claim that we are obsessed with gender, i roll my eyes and think about how i was bullied for simply having short hair.
